Moods For Moderns

Moods for moderns, moods for moderns Moods for moderns, moods for moderns I get hit looking for a miss I never thought that it would come to this Moods for moderns, moods for moderns Moods for moderns, moods for moderns Though we may never be the same again I am so proud that you've been taken in vain What if none of your dreams come true? I can never run from you There's never been a how d'you do There's never been an ending Soon you'll belong to someone else And I will be your stranger just pretending Moods for moderns Memory lingers I let you into Foreign fingers Moods for moderns, moods for moderns Moods for moderns, moods for moderns I never thought that I would see this day I never thought that I would give you away What if none of your dreams come true? I can never run from you There's never been a how d'you do There's never been an ending Soon you'll belong to someone else And I will be your stranger just pretending Moods for moderns Let them break us Strong and sudden Foreign fingers
